PASTORAL OIL

The local institutional church world is full of misinformation, inventions of men, half-truths, and distortions and nowhere is that more apparent than in the introduction of "the pastor" or "the pastorate" into the world of Christendom.

(Keep in mind that throughout this brief article, I am employing the term “pastor” or “pastorate” as it is used within the local institutional church system and NOT in any sort of “Biblical sense,” for there is no Biblical sense!)

There are multitudes of denominations, theological persuasions, confessions of faith, creeds, all sorts of Bible interpretations, practices, traditions, rituals, styles of worship,…you name it…, that has taken over and inundated the Christian world.
